There were no changes to the physical function, but the new screen design is more user-friendly with bolder graph- ics and onscreen buttons. The navigation on the system was also updated to create a better user experience, and the software now has onscreen access to the TeleStack- er Conveyor owner's manual.

The engine meets all of the new emissions standards in North America, while not giving up any of the power of previous Volvo excavators. The unit also comes with an optimized hydrau- lics system and ECO mode that give the excavator the power to precisely complete jobs. In addition, it has increased pump input power that boosts productivity and cycle times. On the inside of the machine, the excavator has a new human machine interface with joysticks, a keypad, and an 8-inch LCD monitor, which makes the machine more user friendly. Volvo | www.VolvoCE.com
